I like my own naming scheme, and I use it by specifying the name when
creating the vlan using 'ip'.  It would have been nice (IMO) to have the
dev.vid naming be default from the beginning, but since it wasn't, it would
cause more harm than good to change it now.

So, I'm NOT arguing for changing the behaviour, though anything that can
document the features of 'ip' better and make it more obvious you can set
the name upon creation should help people...
